bruces Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 I've had a look at the site Link to comment
whitebeam Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Lynz - that's such a good idea. I, and others, have said for bruces to take his dad along - but an advocate would be a great idea. I really think, bruces, you need to talk to a psychologist/psychiatris/GP and tell them how bad you feel and that you need help - now. An advocate could speak on your behalf - with probably better knowledge than a friend or family member. bruces, please go to see someone and ask for help - if you need someone to help you, this sounds great.

PolarBear Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 bruces, I think writing down your self loathing comments here is as much a compulsion as seeking reassurance is. It may not be tied into OCD directly, but you just continue to do it with absolutely no positive outcome possible from it. Your using the forum as an outlet for your pain and it's not doing you any good. Link to comment
bruces Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 No your probably right but the outcome is the same Link to comment
PolarBear Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 The outcome doesn't have to be the same. You're stuck right now but only you can get yourself unstuck. Link to comment
bruces Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 Unfortunately I've lost my mind I can't sleep now unless I drink a lot Link to comment
PolarBear Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 You haven't lost your mind. Just another self loathing comment. Link to comment
Legend Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I have yes totally agree, you have lost your mind . Thats why your consistent in your search for annswers but given up at same time cest la vie you could get the best therapist in the world , they could help , they really could .... help help help , but only the person receiving the help can take on board that help and make one step forwards Choice is change , change is choice.

Guest MrsF Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Hi Bruces - I saw earlier on the thread you are drinking "a lot" to be able to sleep. Please bear in mind that the alcohol will still be in your system in the morning - should you be doing the school run? I only say that cos Mr F's outfit has a zero alcohol policy the day before you are on duty. Drinking will not help your depression. Why don't you take five mins to re-read the whole of this thread - there is a wealth of help and suggestions on here to get you started on your road to recovery but its up to you to start making even the tiniest of changes. You can do it. What are you doing today? Link to comment
bruces Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 I don't do a morning run now just on an afternoon I'm in such a dark place right now Link to comment
Guest MrsF Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Has something happened to make you feel worse? What are you doing to fight back? All of the people who have been offering help and advice have at some stage been where you are now - myself included. Nobody is giving advice that they wouldn't do or haven't done themselves. I like Legend's choice is change, change is choice. Can you do one small positive thing today? I know this isn't ocd related but did you see Rossi at MotoGP - wow!? Link to comment
bruces Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 I'm doing some jobs around the garage but I'm freaking out because I don't like the place,I really don't like where we live the place is dropping to bits and our cars are old and clapped out and then I look at the state of my psoriasis it seems I dislike every aspect of my life Link to comment
Guest MrsF Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Thats a positive doing jobs around the garage. Does stress make the psoriasis worse? Link to comment
Guest Tricia Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) Bruces, the most important thing may be to stop the very thing you feel is giving you some relief and helping you sleep - the booze. I've been there and know how hard it is to stop when very depressed, but it really does just add to our misery. Edited June 22, 2015 by Tricia Link to comment
bruces Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 Yeah I'm not gunna have any tonight Link to comment
Guest Tricia Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Good. I know how terribly hard it is, especially when we have so few pleasures in life. I used to say 'I'll stop tomorrow'. I wasn't a heavy drinker but it seemed to help me relax and sleep. We can be unaware it's adding to our depression. Link to comment
